We define an operation $\oplus$ on the set $\{0, 1\}$ by \[ 0 \oplus 0 = 0 \,, 0 \oplus 1 = 1 \,, 1 \oplus 0 = 1 \,, 1 \oplus 1 = 0 \,.\] For two natural numbers $a$ and $b$, which are written in base $2$ as $a = (a_1a_2 \ldots a_k)_2$ and $b = (b_1b_2 \ldots b_k)_2$ (possibly with leading 0's), we define $a \oplus b = c$ where $c$ written in base $2$ is $(c_1c_2 \ldots c_k)_2$ with $c_i = a_i \oplus b_i$, for $1 \le i \le k$.
